AppleVis Podcast show

Summary: <p>In this podcast, AnonyMouse gives us a walk-through and demonstration of <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/US/app/id517329357?mt=8&amp;ign-mpt=uo%3D8&amp;at=11l4LS" target="_top">Dark Sky - Weather Radar, Hyperlocal Forecasts, and Storm Alerts</a>.</p> <p>As its name indicates, this is a hyperlocal app, meaning that it uses your phone’s GPS to give you your specific forecast rather than the forecast for your zip code or town.</p> <p>However, the nicest feature of this app is probably it’s ability to send you an alert shortly before rain or snow starts at your current location. You can change the notification threshold to: any rain, light rain, moderate rain or heavy rain only.</p> <p>The recent addition of a Notification Center Widget has made it even easier to check to see if there is likely to be rain in the next hour.</p> <p><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/US/app/id517329357?mt=8&amp;ign-mpt=uo%3D8&amp;at=11l4LS" target="_self">Dark Sky - Weather Radar, Hyperlocal Forecasts, and Storm Alerts is a $3.99 download from the iTunes App Store</a>.</p>
